Day 9 ~ Dear Diary --:
Today I went home with John. John goes home on the bus and I went with him. Lots of other boys and girls go home on the same bus. The music on the bus was cool. I really liked it. We were all rocking in the back. We got off the bus and John and his brother ran home as fast as they could to show me off. His Mom thought I was lovely and she said I was welcome and asked me to stay for dinner. When we got in the door John did his homework.  I sat up beside him as he did it. John is good in school so his teacher says. When John was finished we played his Sega. We played FIFA 96.  John beat me 8 - 0 because I am a beginner. He showed me a few tricks and I got better as time went on. After we played the Sega we went out John's back garden. I took 6 penalties on John and I scored none.  John is a good footballer and a great goalkeeper. No matter how hard I kicked the ball he always managed to save it.  He scored five on me but I manage to save only one. John told me he would show me a few tricks and by the time I go home to Newfoundland I would be a brilliant goalkeeper. 

Later we had our dinner. We had chips and sausages.  They were delicious. Then we watched TV.  After that we went to bed, but before we did we had to wash our faces, brush our teeth and say our prayers.  The next day we got up and had our breakfast.  We had Weetabix, and then after that we watched a match on the TV. It was a football game from Italy. Juventus were playing. it was good and at half time the pitch was flooded and after around 1 hour and a half the game was back on Juventus lost by 1 goal to 0. After that we had to go to his cousins because his Mum and Dad were going to a weeding. Down in John's cousins house we played snooker.  After that we played his Play Station. John brought his premier league 2000 book down it is a sticker book so John and his cousin swooped and I watched. They explained that you get packets of stickers in the local shop of footballers and you must try and collect all the players from each team. Everybody wanted to collect Manchester United stickers, as they are the most popular team in the class. You also must buy a special sticker album where you out the stickers. You get all sorts of information about each player in the album. That was my visit with John. I hope to go back some other day and score a few goals against him.
